Do You Remember the Good Old Days?(Will Your Children?)Why is the answer to that question so important? Because where and
who we come from form the basis of who we are. Many times when we think of
genealogy, we think of numbers – when relatives were born, when they died, or
when they married. And, even though those items are important, it’s the
stories of those people that are more important in keeping families together.
These stories reveal the hearts and souls of our ancestors. Finally, there is a tool to help you easily record both your
genealogical information and stories to keep your family alive. A
Lifetime of Cherished Memories helps you preserve those stories, facts, and
legends that are important to you and that you want your family to know and pass
down to future generations. Why
is it so important to preserve these stories? 1.
These personalized stories will keep your family history in tact
for future generations. 2.
You will be offering a cultural and historical picture of your
time. 3.
The writing can be a very cathartic / healing experience for you. 4.
You will validate and understand the immense worth of your life. 5.
Necessary medical records can be passed on. This practical workbook offers you 19 categories with hundreds of
questions to “jump start” your
memory, which will create a domino effect. One thought / story leads to another
and another and before you realize it, you will have written your entire memoir.
True, it may not happen overnight. But, this question method easily brings to
mind all those experiences and stories you thought were long forgotten. Ti Here are a few tips to think about: 1.
Nothing is too trivial or silly.
Whatever is important to you, for whatever reason, is what needs to be written.
Try to keep a good mix of serious and not so serious. 2.
Do NOT worry that you are not a professional writer. The purpose is to preserve your memories, not demonstrate
your writing skills. 3.
Take your time.
Allow yourself to enjoy the process. Reminisce as you think of all your
wonderful, meaningful experiences. 4.
Use all five of your senses.
You can mentally visualize, smell, taste, touch, and hear your stories as you
think about them. 5.
Have FUN! Go into this project with the attitude
that it will not only tell your important life story; it will be fun too. Choices A
Lifetime of Cherished Memories may be purchased as a book or as a Book
